A behavior control research project was begun in the 1950s, coordinated
by the British psychological warfare unit called the Tavistock Institute,
with the Scottish Rite Masons, the Central Intelligence Agency, and other
British, U.S., Canadian, and United Nations agencies. The project became
famous in the 1970s under a CIA code name, ``MK-Ultra.'' Its notoriety
for brainwashing by drugs, hypnosis, electroshock, and other tortures caused
many books to be written about the project, and the U.S. Senate conducted
hearings which exposed many of its abusive features. President Gerald Ford
appointed a commission headed by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, to
correct the CIA's misconduct. There was a widespread anti-establishment
view at the time, that here was the fox appointed to guard the hen house.
The intelligence agencies offered a public rationale for the project: the
need to counteract and compete with the mind-control capabilities of the
communists. This was largely based on the fact that U.S. personnel held
prisoner by the enemy in the Korean War had signed false confessions of
crimes, and some had defected to North Korea, the apparent result of brainwashing.
{The Manchurian Candidate,} a 1959 book which was made into a popular movie
in 1962, reflected this rationale. It told the story of a communist plot
to use a U.S. soldier brainwashed in Manchuria as a zombie-assassin, to
kill the leading U.S. presidential candidate. A central theme of MK-Ultra
was to attempt to control the human mind in a similar way. Threatened and
accomplished assassination of political leaders has become increasingly
frequent in public life since the 1960s. Just since the 1992 election campaign,
for example, President Bill Clinton has been the target of at least 15
assassination threats. Many of these would-be killers, and many of the
assassins of past years, had been in destructive psychiatric programs,
or were members of psychiatrically manipulated cults. The present threats
are the more meaningful, in the context of the British-led Whitewater scandal
directed against the presidency. It is long past time for a thorough public
inquiry into the assassination epidemic, whereby its relationship to the
official project to {create assassins} would be fully explored. A great
obstacle to clear thinking in this area has been the assumption that the
U.S. government would not sponsor programs for the murder of American leaders.
This logical assumption misses the point, that the overall project, including
``MK-Ultra,'' has been foreign-sponsored and anti-American in its purposes.
We shall outline here the British background of this deeply criminal enterprise,
with its roots in the political and psychiatric movement called eugenics.

- 1909-13: the buildup to World War I -

John D. Rockefeller created the family-run {{Rockefeller Foundation,}}
in parallel with the birth of the British-inspired Federal Reserve, the
Internal Revenue Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In 1909-13
and subsequent years, Rockefeller transferred blocs of the family-owned
Standard Oil Co. worth more than $300 million to the account of the foundation
under its trustees who were family members, and their employees. Thus was
established a global instrument for radical social change, using American
money and British strategy. John D. Rockefeller had begun his oil business
in the 1860s with British capital. The family's relationship to the British
Empire a half-century later was centered in the person of John D. 's brother
{{William Rockefeller,}} the president of Standard Oil of New York (later
Mobil) and the founder of National City Bank (later Citibank). In 1911,
brother William employed, in a private capacity through his elite social
club, a high-ranking British secret intelligence service officer named
Claude Dansey. As the United States prepared to ally itself in World War
I with its old enemy Britain, Dansey personally reorganized the U.S. Army
intelligence service into an adjunct of the British secret service. Dansey's
loyal U.S. follower, {{Gen. Marlborough Churchill}} (a distant relative
of Britain's Winston Churchill) soon became director of U.S. military intelligence.
After World War I, General Churchill headed up the ``Black Chamber,'' a
New York-based espionage group serving the State Department, the U.S. Army,
and private New York financiers loyal to Great Britain. This same General
Churchill would soon launch a medical research organization, the Macy Foundation,
for the Rockefellers and British intelligence.

- 1920s: the pre-Hitler era in Germany -

The Rockefeller Foundation poured money into the occupied German republic
for a medical specialty known as {psychiatric genetics.} This field applied
to psychiatry the concepts of eugenics (otherwise known as race purification,
race hygiene, or race betterment) developed in London's Galton Laboratory
and its offshoot Eugenics Societies in England and America. The Rockefeller
Foundation created, and foundation executives thenceforth continuously
directed, the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Psychiatry in Munich (before
Rockefeller sponsorship it was known as the Kraepelin Institute), and the
Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Eugenics, and Human Heredity.
The Rockefellers' chief in both these institutions was the fascist Swiss
psychiatrist {{Ernst Ru@audin,}} assisted by his prote@aage@aas, Rockefeller
functionaries {{Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer}} and {{Franz J. Kallmann.}}
A British medical historian friendly to the Rockefellers recently explained
how the family was introduced into this field in Germany@s1: The foundation's
``German centers combined the search for organic signs of mental illness
with eugenic projects.... The [Kraepelin] institute had initially been
endowed with 11 million marks, contributed by Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und
Halbach [head of the Krupp steel and arms family] and James Loeb [Paul
Warburg's brother-in-law], an expatriate American of the Kuhn- Loeb banking
family. Loeb mobilized his American-Jewish friends to support the institute,''
and they invited the foundation to reorganize and expand the Munich enterprise.
Loeb also continued financing the institute. Loeb's relatives, the Warburgs,
owners of Kuhn Loeb bank, were the intimate banking partners of William
Rockefeller. Together with him they had set up the Harriman family in big
business, using capital supplied by the British royal family's personal
banker, Sir Ernst Cassell. The three families, Rockefeller, Warburg, and
Harriman, together with British Crown agencies, jointly sponsored much
of the social engineering enterprise we shall describe here. The Rockefeller
Foundation made an initial grant of $2.5 million in 1925 to the Psychiatric
Institute in Munich, gave it $325,000 for a new building in 1928, and continuously
sponsored the institute and its Nazi chief Ru@audin through the Hitler
era. The foundation paid for a 1930-35 anthropological survey of the ``eugenically
worthwhile population'' by Nazi eugenicists Ru@audin, Verschuer, Eugen
Fischer, and others.

- 1930: a New Age in psychiatry -

Rockefeller family psychologists and race purification experts created
a medical research financing conduit, the {{ Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation,}}
directed by former Black Chamber and military intelligence chief Gen. Marlborough
Churchill. The Macy group would manage London's most advanced experiments
in mind-control and social engineering.

- 1932: Ru@audin heads Eugenics Federation -

The British-led eugenics movement met at the American Museum of Natural
History in New York City, and designated the Rockefellers' Dr. Ernst Ru@audin
as the president of the worldwide Eugenics Federation. The eugenics movement
at the time called for the killing or sterilization of people whose heredity
made them a public burden or a national scapegoat.

- Mid-1930s: Nazi eugenics in practice -

Adolf Hitler was given Germany's chancellorship in 1933, and was soon
absolute dictator. {{Montagu Norman,}} the occultist governor of the Bank
of England, propped up Hitler's credit, arranged the armament of Nazi Germany,
and guided the strategies of Hitler's powerful supporters--the Rockefellers,
Warburgs, and Harrimans. Only a few months after the meeting at the American
Museum of Natural History, the Rockefeller-Ru@audin apparatus became a
section of the Nazi state. The regime appointed Ru@audin head of the Racial
Hygiene Society. Ru@audin and his staff, as part of the Task Force of Heredity
Experts chaired by SS chief Heinrich Himmler, drew up the sterilization
law. Described as an American model law, it was adopted in July 1933 and
proudly printed in the September 1933 {Eugenical News} (U.S.A.), with Hitler's
signature. The Rockefeller group drew up other race laws, based, as was
the sterilization law, on existing statutes from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Otmar Verschuer and his assistant Dr. Josef Mengele together wrote reports
for special courts which enforced Ru@audin's racial purity law against
the illegal cohabitation of Aryans and non-Aryans. The ``T4'' unit of the
Hitler Chancery, based on psychiatrists led by Ru@audin and his staff,
cooperated in creating propaganda films to sell mercy-killing (euthanasia)
to German citizens. The public reacted antagonistically: Hitler had to
withdraw a tear-jerker right-to-die film from the movie theaters. The proper
groundwork had not yet been laid.

- 1934: The Freemasons study madness -

The {{Scottish Rite of Freemasonry}} joined the Rockefellers in sponsoring
psychiatric genetics beginning in 1934, under the rubric of research into
dementia praecox (schizophrenia). The highest level of U.S. masonry, the
Scottish Rite was the instrument through which the British Crown had reestablished
the loyalty of American masons after the American Revolution. The northern
section of the Rite had rallied the Copperheads against Abraham Lincoln's
Civil War efforts, aiding the Rite's southern chief Albert Pike in secession
and in other British white supremacy projects, such as the Ku Klux Klan.
For eugenics, the British royal family itself was the Rite's point of reference.
The {{Duke of Connaught,}} son of Queen Victoria and brother of King Edward
VII, had been grand master of the United Grand Lodge of England since 1901.
American masonic leaders referred to the duke as ``grand master of the
Mother Grand Lodge of Masons of the World.'' The son of a German father
(Victoria's husband, the Coburg Prince Albert), the Duke of Connaught was
deeply involved in German affairs and was a patron of Britain's ``New Dark
Ages'' ultra-racialist elite group based in South Africa. Late in 1932,
negotiations for Hitler's takeover of Germany took place at the home of
Joachim von Ribbentrop, who, as a traveling teenager, had been adopted
into the household of the Duke of Connaught. Ribbentrop then became the
head of Hitler's foreign intelligence service. As Hitler's ambassador to
England, Ribbentrop worked in tandem with the leadership of the clique
which employed Hitler as a British surrogate to smash up Europe: the masonic
grand master duke and his nephew, the openly Nazi Edward VIII; Bank of
England Governor Montagu Norman; and Lord Halifax, Neville Chamberlain's
foreign minister.

- 1936-38: Columbia University's chamber of horrors -

In 1936, the Scottish Rite's Field Representative of Research on Dementia
Praecox, Dr. Nolan D.C. Lewis, director of the {{New York State Psychiatric
Institute,}} reported to the Scottish Rite Northern Supreme Council ``on
the progress of the fourteen research projects being financed by the Supreme
Council.'' Scottish Rite strategist {{Winfred Overholser,}} the superintendent
of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, a federal mental hospital in Washington D.C.,
provided overall leadership for the Rite's psychiatric research. Though
these projects are shrouded in mystery, one of them with particularly gruesome
results has come to light. The study of hereditary degeneracy was proceeding
in the Rockefeller Foundation's German enclaves when it hit a snag. Psychiatrist
Franz J. Kallmann, prote@aage@aa of Nazi race science chief Ernst Ru@audin,
was forced to leave his job-- Kallmann was ``half-Jewish.'' This was a
big blow for Kallmann, who had proved his Nazi credentials at the International
Congress for Population Science in Berlin in 1935. At that British-led
meeting hosted by Hitler's Interior Ministry, Kallmann had argued for the
sterilization of {even the apparently healthy relatives} of schizophrenics,
along with the schizophrenics themselves, to securely eliminate all the
defective germ plasm. Without missing a step, Kallmann emigrated to America
and became director of research in the New York State Psychiatric Institute,
attached to Columbia University in Manhattan. The Scottish Rite's Dr. Lewis
was the director of the institute. Kallmann simply continued in New York
the Nazi propaganda work he had been doing for Rockefeller in Germany.
The Scottish Rite of Freemasonry paid Kallmann to conduct a study of over
1, 000 cases of schizophrenia, in order to assert the claim that the mental
disorder was inherited. Kallmann's study was published simultaneously in
the United States and Nazi Germany in 1938. In the preface, Kallmann thanked
the Scottish Rite and his mentor Ru@audin. He called schizophrenics a ``source
of maladjusted crooks ... and the lowest types of criminal offenders. Even
the faithful believer in liberty ... would be happier without those.''
He declared sarcastically, ``I am reluctant to admit the necessity of different
eugenic programs for democratic and fascistic communities.... There are
neither biological nor sociological differences between a democratic and
a totalitarian schizophrenic.'' Kallmann's scholarly American study was
used by the Nazi government's T4 unit as a part of its pretext to begin
in 1939 the murder of mental patients and various other ``defective'' people,
many or most of them children. Lethal gas and lethal injections were used
to kill 200-250,000 under this program, in which the staffs for a broader
program of mass murder were desensitized and trained.

- 1939-40: the deal for Auschwitz -

The German chemical company IG Farben and Rockefeller's Standard Oil
of New Jersey were effectively a single firm, merged in hundreds of cartel
arrangements. IG Farben was led, up until 1937 by the Warburg family, Rockefeller's
partners in banking and in the design of Nazi German eugenics. Following
the Nazi invasion of Poland in September 1939, Britain and Germany declared
war on each other and World War II began. But later that month, Standard
Oil executives flew to the Netherlands on a British Royal Air Force bomber
and met with IG Farben executives. Standard Oil pledged to keep the merger
with IG Farben going even if the United States entered the war. This was
exposed in 1942 by Sen. Harry Truman's investigating committee, and President
Franklin Roosevelt took hundreds of legal measures during the war to counter
the Standard Oil-IG Farben cartel's supply operation for the enemy war
machine. In 1940-41, IG Farben built a gigantic factory at Auschwitz in
Poland, to utilize the Standard Oil-IG Farben patents with concentration
camp slave labor to make gasoline from coal. The SS guarded the Jewish
and other inmates and selected for killing those who were unfit for IG
Farben slave labor. Standard-Germany President Emil Helfferich testified
after the war that Standard Oil funds helped pay for the SS guards at Auschwitz.
On March 26, 1940, six months after the Standard Oil-IG Farben meeting,
European Rockefeller Foundation official Daniel O'Brian wrote to the foundation's
chief medical officer Alan Gregg that ``it would be unfortunate if it was
chosen to stop research which has no relation to war issues.'' The ``non-war-
related'' research continued. {The Rockefeller Foundation defends its record
by claiming that its funding of Nazi German programs during World War II
was limited to psychiatric research.}

- 1943: research in Nazi-occupied Poland -

In 1943, Otmar Verschuer's assistant Josef Mengele was made medical
commandant of Auschwitz. As wartime director of Rockefeller's Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute for Anthropology, Eugenics, and Human Heredity in Berlin, Verschuer
secured funds for Mengele's experiments at Auschwitz from the German Research
council. Verschuer wrote a progress report to the Council: ``My co-researcher
in this research is my assistant, the anthropologist and physician Mengele.
He is serving as Hauptstu@aurmfu@auhrer and camp doctor in the concentration
camp Auschwitz.... With the permission of the Reichsfu@auhrer SS Himmler,
anthropological research is being undertaken on the various racial groups
in the concentration camps and blood samples will be sent to my laboratory
for investigation.'' Mengele prowled the railroad cars coming into Auschwitz,
looking for twin children--a favorite research subject of Frankenstein-type
psychiatric geneticists. On arrival at Mengele's experimental station,
twins filled out ``a detailed questionnaire from the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute.''
There were daily drawings of blood for Verschuer's ``specific protein''
research. Needles were injected into eyes for work on eye color. There
were experimental blood transfusions and experimental infections. Organs
and limbs were removed, sometimes without anesthetics. Sex changes were
attempted. Females were sterilized, males were castrated. Thousands were
murdered, and their organs, eyeballs, heads, and limbs were sent to Verschuer
and the Rockefeller group at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. After the war,
Mengele was a famous target of Nazi-hunters pursuing him to South America.
But his boss, Verschuer, was regarded in a different light: He was a high-level
Rockefeller operative. In 1946, Verschuer wrote to the Bureau of Human
Heredity in London, asking for help in continuing his ``scientific research.
'' In 1947, the Bureau of Human Heredity moved from London to Copenhagen,
and Verschuer moved to Denmark to join the British group there. The new
Danish building for this group was erected with Rockefeller money. The
first International Congress in Human Genetics following World War II was
held at this Danish institute in 1956. Dr. Kallmann helped save Verschuer
by testifying at his denazification proceedings. Kallmann, a director of
the American Eugenics Society, became an icon at the New York State Psychiatric
Institute, which remains to this day a nest of the Eugenics Society. With
Verschuer and other Nazi notables, Dr. Kallmann also created the American
Society of Human Genetics, which organized the ``Human Genome Project''--a
current $3 billion physical multiculturalism effort.

- 1943: research in North America -

With the war on, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Canadian military
joined their psychiatric forces. Canadian Army medical director Dr. George
Brock Chisholm had been trained as a psychiatrist at the {{Tavistock Psychiatric
Clinic}} in London, and Tavistock--the British Crown's central mind-bending
agency-- was a major Rockefeller Foundation beneficiary. In 1943, the Rockefeller
Foundation created the Allen Memorial Institute at McGill University in
Montreal. Eugenics- oriented psychiatrist {{Donald Ewen Cameron,}} a Scottish
immigrant to the United States, was placed in charge of the institute's
psychiatry. Experiments in coercive interrogation and brainwashing would
be conducted at Allen Institute under the auspices of the Canadian military,
the Rockefeller Foundation, and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Dr.
Cameron's ``terminal'' use of electric shock as a brain-burning torture,
psychosurgery, and brainwashing with drugs and hypnosis would make the
Canadian program the most famous apsect of the CIA's MK- Ultra. Meanwhile,
in Washington, D.C., a new odor, that of marijuana, could be detected inside
St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C. (St. Elizabeth's is the mental
hospital where presidential assailants or other federal cases are kept.)
The superintendent, Scottish Rite chief psychiatrist Winfred Overholser,
was in 1943 the chairman of the misnamed ``truth drug'' committee for the
Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The criminal underworld was systematically
being brought into official but secret joint activities with the government,
under the pretext of fighting fascism. Overholser's crew administered the
hallucinogen mescaline to various test subjects. Then in the spring of
1943, they perfected the right mix of marijuana and tobacco to produce
a ``state of irresponsibility'' in the subject. The official OSS story
is that New York mafia hitman August Del Gracio began smoking Overholser's
``joints'' on May 27, 1943, in order to loosen his tongue. Federal agents
were thus supposedly to learn the inside secrets of drug trafficking--but
not to stop it. This was part of an ongoing federal program, which organized
crime czar Meyer Lansky boasts (in his authorized biography) that he personally
arranged. Mafia thugs were brought in to work in Naval Intelligence offices,
and jointly with U.S. agents in U.S. ports and shipping, to more effectively
intimidate our national enemies. Former CIA staff member John Marks writes
in {The Search for the Manchurian Candidate} that Overholser's working
group included counterintelligence agents inside the Manhattan Project
atomic bomb project, and the FBI, which was under the direction of Dr.
Overholser's Scottish Rite comrade, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. The Overholser
group gave marijuana to U.S. soldiers at Army bases throughout the country,
supposedly to aid in the search for subversives. Later, during the 1950s
and 1960s, the strategists of the MK- Ultra project would utilize the same
channels of influence with U.S. security agencies to let them transform
a generation of youth into dope users.

1944-48: after Nazism, the International Congress on Mental Health

In 1944, with the concentration camps in full swing and Europe burning,
Montagu Norman resigned from the Bank of England. He immediately began
a new project, ironically related to his own repeated mental breakdowns
and hospitalizations. Norman organized the British {{National Association
for Mental Health.}} In its formative stages the group was based at Thorpe
Lodge, Norman's London home, where he had met with Nazi Economics Minister
Hjalmar Schacht to plan the Hitler regime's 1930s budgets. Montagu Norman's
Bank of England assistant Otto Niemeyer was made treasurer of the National
Association of Mental Health. Niemeyer's niece, Mary Appleby, became general
secretary of the association. She previously worked in the German Section
of the British Foreign Office. The president of Norman's association was
to be Richard Austen (``RAB'') Butler. He had been deputy foreign minister
to Lord Halifax and the spokesman in the British Parliament for the pro-Nazi
policy. The chairman of the association was to be be Lord Halifax's son-in-law,
the Earl of Feversham. The vice chairman was Lord Montagu Norman's wife,
eugenics activist Priscilla Reyntiens Worsthorne Norman. Norman's British
group would soon expand and to take over management of the world psychiatric
profession. When the war ended, the exposure and punishment of those responsible
for the Nazi barbarities was a rather delicate matter. Dr. Donald Ewen
Cameron interrupted his Canadian brain butchery to go help the British
Crown's Tavistock psychological warfare unit evaluate the sanity of Nazi
official Rudolph Hess. Cameron's unique insights into the Nazi mentality
had made him a valued part of a secret wartime psychiatric committee in
Washington to assess the trends in the Nazi leadership's thinking. Cameron
now testified as an expert at the Nuremberg war crimes trials. His old
OSS colleague {{Allen Dulles,}} later the CIA director, was reportedly
pleased by Cameron's suggestion that each surviving German over the age
of 12 should be given electroshock treatment to burn out remaining vestiges
of Nazism. That part of the Nuremberg Code dealing with scientific research
was drafted by Boston psychiatrist Leo Alexander; he soon afterward joined
with Auschwitz experimental mastermind Otmar Verschuer in Franz Kallmann's
American Society of Human Genetics. In 1948, Montagu Norman's National
Association for Mental Health gathered the world psychiatric and psychological
leaders together at an {{International Congress on Mental Health}} at the
United Kingdom's Ministry of Health in London. At this congress, a {{World
Federation for Mental Health}} was formed, to run the planet's psychological
services. Lady Norman, the hostess of the congress, was named to the executive
board. Norman picked as president of the World Federation the chief of
the British military's psychological warfare department, Tavistock Institute
chief {{Brig. Gen. Dr. John Rawlings Rees.}} In connection with the founding
of the World Federation for Mental Health, a New York agent of Montagu
Norman named Clarence G. Michalis was made chairman of the board of the
Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation. That foundation, in turn, would pay for much
of what the World Federation and Tavistock were to do to the United States--supplying
dope and otherwise subverting western ideals. The Macy Foundation's chief
medical officer, Dr. Frank Fremont- Smith, would be the permanent co-director
of the World Federation with J.R. Rees. The technical coordinator of the
U.S. delegation to the 1948 congress, Nina Ridenour, later wrote in {Mental
Health in the United States: A Fifty Year History,} that ``the World Federation
for Mental Health ... had been created upon the recommendation of the United
Nations' {{World Health Organization}} and {{Unesco}}, because they needed
a non-governmental [i.e., not accountable to any check of law or constitution--ed.]
mental health organization with which they could cooperate.'' Ridenour
alluded to the fact that the British psychological warfare executive had
itself created the heart of the U.N. apparatus: ``Having official consultive
status with the United Nations and several of its specialized agencies,
the World Federation for Mental Health is in a position to influence some
of the U.N.'s decisions and some aspects of its program. The two U.N. agencies
with which the World Federation works most closely are the World Health
Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organzation (Unesco). ``The first director of WHO, and indeed quite literally
its `creator,' was a prominent Canadian psychiatrist, Brock Chisholm, M.D.,
formerly director general of the Canadian Army Medical Services. Since
its inception, WHO has made significant contributions to world mental health
through the reports of its various Expert Committees; through some of its
other special reports, such as the notable monograph {Mental Health and
Maternal Care} by [Tavistock's] John Bowlby, M.D.; and through the widespread
activities of its Mental Health Division, of which the British psychiatrist
Ronald C. Hargreaves was the first director.'' Unesco's partnership with
Rees was guided by Unesco's founding secretary general, eugenics strategist
{{Sir Julian Huxley,}} and by Unesco social sciences chief Dr. Otto Klineberg,
a Tavistock-affiliated psychologist specializing in the supposedly racial
characteristics of the American Negro. The congress, which in effect founded
the modern ``mental health'' profession, brought together one of the most
exotic collection of enemies of humanity in recent centuries. Its vice
presidents included: {{Prof. Cyril Burt:}} Tavistock psychiatrist, eugenics
activist, a leader of the ``psychical research'' movement (seances, ESP,
ghosts), who was notorious for fraudulent ``twins'' research; {{Dr. Hugh
Chrichton-Miller:}} founder of the Tavistock Clinic; vice president of
the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich; vice president, National Association
for Mental Health; {{Dame Evelyn Fox:}} a longtime leader of the British
eugenics movement (Lady Norman was a disciple of Dame Evelyn); {{Sir David
Henderson:}} psychiatrist in London, Munich, and New York; author of {Psychiatry
and Race Betterment}; {{Lord Thomas Jeeves Horder:}} president of the Eugenics
Society of Great Britain; president of the Family Planning Association;
president of the Anglo-Soviet Public Relations Association; former physician
to King Edward VIII; {{Carl G. Jung:}} occultist; psychiatrist to Montagu
Norman, Paul Mellon, and the Dulles family; representative of German psychiatry
under the Nazis, co-editor of the Nazis' {Journal for Psychotherapy}; {{Dr.
Winfred Overholser:}} representative of the Scottish Rite Masons; chairman
of the American delegation to the International Congress on Mental Health;
{{Alan Ker Stout:}} University of Sydney, Australia, philosophy professor,
president of the New South Wales Film Society, officer of Unesco for films;
{{Dr. Alfred Frank Tredgold:}} member of Britain's Ministry of Health Committee
on Sterilization and a leading expert on mental defectives. The congress
was run by the host British ``National Association,'' whose patron was
the Duchess of Kent, widow of the Grand Master of Masons (1939-42) and
mother of the Grand Master of Masons (1967 to the present), and whose vice
presidents were eugenics and masonic officials. The general conference
at the congress was on the subject of {guilt,} including the crucial plenary
session on alleged German collective guilt for the crimes of Nazism. The
first speaker was {{Margaret Mead,}} anthropologist, occultist, who would
be president of the World Federation for Mental Health in 1956 and 1957,
during the MK-Ultra crimes. The ``Chairman for Discussion'' of this plenary
was Scottish Rite strategist Winfred Overholser. In his opening remarks,
Overholser said: ``I understand that a vocal minority in the press does
not agree with the wisdom of having such a meeting, but we feel there is
great hope for the future if the principles of mental hygiene can be translated
into terms of international action.''

Margaret Gowing,} London, Macmillan Press, 1988.

1950s: MK-Ultra

The outrages perpetrated by Ewen Cameron became the most notorious aspect
of the postwar Anglo-American mind-control program. Cameron had trained
at the Royal Mental Hospital in Glasgow, under eugenicist Sir David Henderson,
and founded the Canadian branch of his friend John R. Rees's World Federation
for Mental Health. In the various member countries and subdivisions, these
channels of British intelligence operations are known as the national,
provincial, or state {{Mental Health Associations.} } Cameron was also
elected president of the Canadian, American, and world psychiatric associations.
He became famous after the CIA was sued by some survivors of his work--because
the CIA had financed the tortures. Cameron would drug his victims to sleep
for weeks on end, waking them daily only to administer violent electric
shocks to the brain. He used the British Page-Russell electroconvulsive
method, an initial one-second shock, then five to nine additional shocks,
administered while the patient was in seizure. But he increased the normal
voltage and the number of sequences from one to two or three times per
day. Patients lost all or part of their memories, and some lost the ability
to control their bodily functions and to speak. At least one patient was
reduced almost to a vegetable; then Cameron had the coginitve centers of
her brain surgically cut apart, while keeping her alive. Some subjects
were deposited permanently in institutions for the hopelessly insane. For
the CIA, Cameron tested the South American poison called curare, which
kills a victim while simulating natural heart failure. But Cameron claims
to have used it only in non-lethal doses to further immobilize his subjects
while they were kept in sensory deprivation tortures for as long as 65
days. Then they would be given lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) for ``programmable''
hallucinations. When the subject was sufficiently devastated, Cameron and
his assistant, a veteran of the British Royal Signals Corps, would begin
``Psychic Driving'': Through a loudspeaker hidden under the pillow, or
through unremovable earphones, they would play a tape over and over again
to burn certain phrases into what was left of the victim's memory. The
CIA was found to have financed these horrors, as well as ghastly experiments
in other locations, using a front called the Society for the Study of Human
Ecology. (The society gave a grant for a study of the effects of circumcision
on young Turkish boys, the grantees to be in Istanbul, studying five to
seven year olds and their problems with their genitals. It is claimed that
this was intended to give a cover to the CIA front as a real academic organization.)

- The question of sponsorship -

But the authorship of this enterprise cannot reasonably be assigned
to the CIA, per se. Even before we review other agencies' direct involvement,
we must understand that the CIA chief during MK-Ultra, Allen Dulles, was
thoroughly attached to British Empire geopolitical aims. Introduced to
British spies by his uncle Robert Lansing, Woodrow Wilson's secretary of
state, Dulles had had a strong personal identification since childhood
with the British Secret Intelligence Service. The Dulles family's upper
class-status in America began when ancestor William Dulles arrived in South
Carolina from India. With a fortune made in India by providing financial
and security services for the British East India Company army, he bought
a slave plantation which the family held through the American Civil War.
The family's mental life was always that of the British Empire and its
American colonial subordinates. Allen Dulles's main corporate activity
was as a director of the J. Henry Schroder banking company in London, a
prime instrument in Montagu Norman's nazification of Germany. As partners
in the Sullivan and Cromwell firm, Allen Dulles and his brother John Foster
Dulles represented the Rockefeller-Harriman- Warburg combination, I.G.
Farben, and virtully every other Nazi corporate organization that danced
on London's marionette strings. It was disclosed that for MK-Ultra, particularly
for the experimental use and distribution of LSD, the CIA operated through
another front, the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation. But the geometry of the
``front'' really worked the other way around. The Macy Foundation represented
the British psychological warfare executive, as extended into U.S. and
related institutions. In the midst of launching MK-Ultra, during 1954-55,
the Macy Foundation's medical director Frank Fremont-Smith was president
of British General Rees's World Federation of Mental Health. Under Rees
as the director, the two together ``made a journey to a number of countries
in Asia and Africa to establish contacts and seek ways in which the organziation
may extend its activities in those regions.'' Through official military
and intelligence conferences over which it presided, and through various
informal and secret operations, the Macy Foundation directed the spread
of LSD by U. S. agencies during the 1950s. The Macy Foundation's chief
LSD executive, {{Harold Abramson, }} was a psychiatric researcher at Columbia
University and at the eugenics center in Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island,
New York. It was Abramson who first ``turned on'' Frank Fremont-Smith.
Abramson also gave LSD for the first time to British anthropologist Gregory
Bateson, sometime husband of Margaret Mead. Then in 1959, Bateson gave
LSD to Beat poet Alan Ginsburg at Stanford University, under controlled
experimental conditions. Following this, Dr. Leo Hollister at Stanford
gave LSD to mental patient turned author Ken Kesey and others, and thus
it was said to have spread ``out of the CIA's realm.''

- Masonic `charity' -

Other parts of the U.S. government participated in the project exposed
as MK-Ultra. The Army Chemical Center paid for LSD and related drug brainwashing
experiments by {{Dr. Paul Hoch.}} Along with Nazi eugenics leader Franz
Kallmann, Hoch co-directed the research at Columbia University's New York
State Psychiatric Institute. Dr. Hoch was a member of the American Eugenics
Society, in Kallmann's eugenics cell at the institute. Hoch was simultaneously
appointed State Mental Hygiene Commissioner by New York Gov. Averell Harriman,
and was reappointed by the next governor, Nelson Rockefeller. Dr. Hoch's
forced injections of a mescaline derivative brought about the 1953 death
of New York tennis player Harold Blauer. Hoch's colleague Dr. James Cattell
later told investigators, ``We didn't know whether it was dog piss or what
it was we were giving him.'' When Hoch died, British brain butcher Ewen
Cameron directed his funeral. Dr. Hoch, a Scottish Rite masonic strategist,
worked with Dr. Kallman under the direction of Scottish Rite Freemasonry's
Field Representative of Research on Dementia Praecox, Dr. Nolan D.C. Lewis,
the superintendent of the New York State Psychiatric Institute. As the
Ku Klux Klan has been the defining project for the Scottish Rite's Southern
Jurisdiction, the Rite's Northern Jurisdiction left its official mark on
the world through MK- Ultra--its most important ``charity.'' Much of the
psychiatric dirty work, though, has been done inside the Rite's KKK-spawning
Southern Jurisdiction, which includes all southern states and everything
west of the Mississippi River. {{Robert Hanna Felix,}} 33rd degree mason,
was a director of the Scottish Rite's psychiatric research. He ran a spectacularly
lawless brainwashing establishment. The exposure of the MK-Ultra scandal
revealed that the CIA had funded one Dr. Harris Isbell to carry out barbarous
experiments using slave subjects, nearly all of them black drug addicts,
at the {{Addiction Research Center}} in Lexington, Kentucky. Isbell was
the director of the center from the 1940s until 1963. His boss was masonic
master psychiatrist Felix, who founded the {{National Institute of Mental
Health}} and was NIMH director from 1949 to 1964. The Lexington facility
had been Dr. Felix's personal project since he had been its clinical director
in the 1930s, and he put it under the jurisdiction of the NIMH. The Felix-Isbell
slave experiments involved LSD and a wide variety of other hallucinogens
and exotic poisons. In one case, seven prisoners were kept hallucinating
on LSD for 77 consecutive days. The torture at Lexington followed the pattern
developed by Cameron in Montreal: Drug-induced sleep was interrupted by
electroconvulsive shock. Cooperative subjects were rewarded with shots
of heroin or any other drug of their choice. And for mental health, the
masonic administration encouraged the prisoners to participate in synthetic
religious and political cults. Felix's program was not simply to make humans
into controllable beasts, but to decentralize the zombie- manufacturing.
A 1993 report to the Scottish Rite Supreme Council by its current psychiatric
research director, Steven Matthysse, explains: ``Thirty years ago, a massive
program began, which has continued unabated to this day: the deinstitutionalization
of the mentally ill.... My predecessor as research director of the Schizophrenia
Research Program, Dr. Robert H. Felix, 33 Degree, Gourgas medalist and
the founding director of the National Institute of Mental Health, was one
of the chief architects of this program. `We are entering a new era,' he
wrote, `of community-centered, comprehensive psychiatric care.'... Dr.
Felix predicted that, in 25 years, `State mental hospitals as we know them
would no longer exist.' He was right.... During the years from 1955 to
1992, the state mental hospital census went down by 82%.'' The strategists
of MK-Ultra succeeded in moving the mentally ill out of costly mental hospitals,
onto the streets, where they now consitute a large proportion of America's
homeless. We shall now see what kind of ``community-centered psychiatric
care'' these strategists did in fact implement, as Britain's MK-Ultra poured
drugs into the country and worked to fabricate the drug- sex youth culture.
{{Seymour Solomon Kety}} was both an executive of the Scottish Rite's psychiatry
experiments, and a Scottish Rite- funded clinical experimenter. He was
chief of NIMH clinical sciences from 1957 through 1967, and continued as
the NIMH ``senior scientist'' into the 1990s. A close associate of the
Kallmann Nazi-eugenics cell at Columbia, Kety was a national director of
the American Eugenics Society, under its 1980s name, the Society for the
Study of Social Biology. Kety helped lead the masons' U.S. agency, the
NIMH, beyond the Kentucky experiments, to the brink of Hell.

- Manchuria in California? -

As Carol Greene has demonstrated in her 1992 book {Mo@aurder aus der
Retorte: Der Fall Charles Manson,} ({Test-Tube Murder: The Case of Charles
Manson}) {{Charles Manson,}} before he committed mass murder, was himself
an NIMH ``research subject.'' Manson was released from a California prison
in March 1967. He was required by law to report regularly to a parole officer
named Roger Smith, who was based at the Haight-Ashbury Medical Clinic in
San Francisco. This was an NIMH project designed to observe and in effect
supervise the first large-scale drug addiction of white teenagers, thousands
of whom were the clinic's clients. Clinic director David E. Smith was also
the publisher of the {Journal of Psychedelic Drugs,} and a leading national
advocate for the legalized use of narcotics. Within the clinic arrangement,
Charles Manson's parole officer was officially commissioned to scientifically
investigate the effects that various kinds drugs had on addicts served
by the NIMH clinic. David Smith also collaborated with another NIMH project:
a behavioral study of children in communes. He was an expert on the breeding
of violent anti-social characters in the mind-crushing environment of the
hippie or cult commune. Parole officer Roger Smith remained on Manson's
case after he was no longer his parole officer, as an adviser and observer
of the increasingly insane man. Charles Manson took up with a British-origin
satanic killer cult called {{The Process--Church of the Final Judgment,}}
a spin-off from Scientology. When he started with The Process is not clear,
but there are some reports that it was in that summer of 1967. Its British
founders had put the U.S. headquarters of the cult into the Haight-Ashbury
section, two blocks from where Manson was living, and they recruited from
among the ``flower children'' for the jobs of drug-running, assassination,
and race riots. {{David Berkowitz,}} convicted in the New York ``Son of
Sam'' serial murders, was an initiate of The Process. Manson is most widely
known for his communal Family, which carried out the satanic Tate-LaBianca
murders. But here we note that Lynette ``Squeaky'' Fromme, who became the
head of the Family after Manson was arrested in October 1969, was herself
imprisoned for the 1975 attempted assassination of U.S. President Gerald
Ford. Another associate of the Manson Family, Sarah Jane Moore, was also
imprisoned for a failed assassination attempt on President Ford. Had either
been successful, Nelson Rockefeller would have become President. There
is a certain psychiatric agency, the {{American Family Foundation,}} which
exists officially to guard the public from injurious cults. AFF is the
mother organization for the so-called {{Cult Awareness Network}} (CAN).
{{Dr. Louis Jolyon West}} is a director of AFF. An expert in brainwashing
for the Air Force and the CIA, West first achieved fame from his MK-Ultra
feat--he injected LSD-25 into an elephant and killed it. West researched
``the psychology of dissociated states'' for the CIA, using LSD and hypnosis.
His friend {{Aldous Huxley}} suggested to Dr. West during an MK-Ultra experiment
that West hypnotize his subjects prior to administering LSD, in order to
give them ``post-hypnotic suggestions aimed at orienting the drug-induced
experience in some desired direction.'' Dr. West was called upon by the
government to examine Jack Ruby, who had killed Lee Harvey Oswald before
Oswald could stand trial for his alleged role in the assassination of President
John Kennedy. West declared Ruby to be in a ``paranoid state manifested
by delusions, visual and auditory hallucinations, and suicidal impulses.''
Ruby was convicted in 1964, but conveniently died in 1967 while awaiting
what could have been a revealing re- trial. Dr. West lived in Haight-Ashbury
during the summer of 1967, to study the hippies. In the 1970s, West became
famous again for his plans to create a Center for the Study and Reduction
of Violence. Its staff was to investigate the genetics and biochemistry
of their prisoners, including ``hyperkinetic children,'' whose every motion
would be electronically monitored by Orwellian guards. Though backed by
Gov. Ronald Reagan, the plan was defeated. {{Rabbi Maurice Davis}} is another
``expert'' guarding America from cults as a director of the American Family
Foundation. Davis worked at the NIMH Lexington Addiction Research Center
as a chaplain, serving the slave victims of the MK-Ultra drug experiments
as they were brought into cult participation. Rabbi Davis then moved to
Indianapolis and sponsored the career of {{Rev. Jim Jones,}} whose followers
were murdered with poisoned Kool-Aid in Guyana. The bulk of the start-up
financing for the American Family Foundation was channelled through a New
York law firm running two funding satellites of the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation.
The same law firm was the legal representative of The Process--Church of
the Final Judgment. The Process Church employs neo-Nazi themes, as do other
British-origin movements such as the Satanists associated with California's
Anton Lavey and Col. Michael Aquino. Charles Manson's swastika tatoo attests
to this. Many of the psychotic potential presidential assassins have been
``neo-Nazis.'' These include Ronald Reagan's deeply brainwashed assailant
John Hinckley, and some of those who have threatened President Clinton.
To help turn up the possible source for this curious zombie pattern, we
review the case of NIMH leader Seymour Kety--as of recent report the chairman
of the Professional Advisory Section of the Scottish Rite Masons' Schizophrenia
Research program. This is the Dr. Kety who, with his NIMH predecessor Dr.
Felix, helped shape the programs that made Charles Manson a satanic beast.
A Scottish Rite brochure reports on the meetings of the Rite's Grand Commander
and Supreme Council with their psychiatrists to plan for the future. The
brochure explains that Dr. Kety ``can trace his interest in the genetics
of schizophrenia to a report by Dr. Franz Kallmann at one of these meetings
years ago. Dr. Kety's own genetic studies have become landmarks in the
field, as the first convincing demonstration of an inherited factor.''
Not the first, perhaps, because Kallmann provided Adolf Hitler with ``convincing''
pretexts to exterminate mental patients.

- The official assassination program -

The ambiguous rationale for the MK-Ultra program was the search for
the Manchurian Candidate: to study, emulate, and counterbalance communist
programs which brainwash people who could be dangerous to our national
security. These programs were secret, and masses of MK-Ultra records were
destroyed. But some aspects of the program's direct testing have been divulged.
CIA executive Morse Allen worked at creating killers under hypnosis on
and around Feb. 19, 1954. The CIA planned early in 1954 to hypnotize a
man they considered disposable, to get him to make an assassination attempt,
be arrested for attempted murder, and be ``thereby disposed of.'' A CIA
hypnosis study was done by Alden Sears at the University of Minnesota and
was moved by Sears to the University of Denver, Colorado. Sears worked
to answer the question, ``Could a hypnotist induce a totally separate personality?
CIA counterintelligence chief {{James Jesus Angleton,}} a leader of the
British intelligence faction in the American intelligence community, established
three goals for the hypnosis program: 1) to induce hypnosis very rapidly
in unwitting subjects; 2) to create durable amnesia; and 3) to implant
durable and operationally useful post-hypnotic suggestion. A test of rapid
hypnosis took place in July 1963. The counterintelligence staff in Washington,
D.C. asked the CIA station in Mexico City to find a suitable candidate
for a rapid induction experiment. The station proposed a low-level agent,
whom the Soviets had apparently doubled. A counterintelligence man flew
in from Washington and a hypnotic consultant arrived from California. The
experiment was said to have misfired. According to CIA hypnosis expert
Milton Klein, creating a hypnotized ``patsy'' is easier than making a totally
controlled Manchurian Candidate. The patsy can be induced by hypnosis to
do things which later show up as circumstantial evidence that will get
him falsely blamed for a crime. Klein has claimed he can create a patsy
in three months; a full-scale Manchurian Candidate takes six months.

- Strange deaths: Frank Olson and Philip Graham -

An important part of the MK-Ultra story was the violent death of Dr.
Frank Olson. In November 1953, the project's CIA personnel gave LSD to
Olson, an executive of the Army Chemical Corps' Special Operations Division,
without warning him. Olson became psychotic and paranoid, so the agency
took Olson to New York to see Harold Abramson, the British Crown's LSD
pusher, who had ``top secret'' CIA clearance. When Abramson was no help,
Olson agreed to enter { {Chestnut Lodge,}} a Rockville, Maryland sanitarium
whose psychiatrists were in Abramson's category for the security of the
MK-Ultra project--``top secret'' cleared. But the night before he was to
enter Chestnut Lodge, Olson allegedly jumped to his death from a hotel
window. Olson's death eventually became a scandal which helped break open
of the entire MK-Ultra scandal. A decade later, President John F. Kennedy
was pressing ahead with the Apollo space program, which he promised would
put a man on the Moon within a decade. Philip Graham, the owner/publisher
of the {Washington Post} and {Newsweek,} met as an adviser and friend every
week with the President and his brother, Attorney General Bobby Kennedy.
Graham was an ardent champion and strategist of the space program, and
of the President's policy of achieving peace by developing overwhelming
technological superiority. Graham wrote a {Newsweek} column defending French
President Charles de Gaulle and attacking Britain and elements in the U.S.
government who took the British line. Graham's wife Katharine and her Anglophile
family despised and mocked Kennedy's emphasis on progress, and demanded
U.S. disarmament. Graham separated from his wife and sued for divorce.
In January 1963, Graham delivered a speech to a national publishers' meeting
in Arizona, attacking the news media as toadies and sycophants. Leslie
Farber, a New Age psychiatrist from MK-Ultra's Chestnut Lodge, flew out
on a military jet. Graham was wrestled to the ground, drugged into a stupor,
and flown back to Maryland, where his wife had obtained a court order for
his commitment to Chestnut Lodge. He was apparently released after 10 days
or so. In June 1963, Graham was somehow put back into Chestnut Lodge. On
Aug. 3, he was released into the custody of his estranged wife. That afternoon,
he was found shot to death. His will was declared void on the grounds of
insanity, and his widow, Katharine Graham, gained control of the {Washington
Post} and {Newsweek.} Three months later, President Kennedy was assassinated.
The { Washington Post,} the main newspaper in the national capital, did
not pursue the question of who had murdered the U.S. President, but left
it to the Warren Commission to decide.

- The assassins' goals -

Back in 1961, at the height of MK-Ultra, the NIMH, led by masonic high
priest Robert Felix, had created an elite group of biologists, behavioral
psychologists, chemists, pharmacologists, neuropsychologists, and psychiatrists.
This 150-member {{American College of Neuropsychopharmacology}} comprised
many of most important MK-Ultra participants. An inner group of the college,
the Study Group for the Effects of Psychotropic Drugs on Normal Humans,
held a conference in 1967 to outline the desired course for the United
States to the year 2000. This conference was reported on by two MK-Ultra
leaders: {{ Dr. Wayne O. Evans,}} director of the U.S. Army Military Stress
Laboratory in Natick, Massachusetts; and {{Nathan Kline,}} a eugenics fanatic
and research psychiatrist for Columbia University, who had set up voodoo-oriented
psychological clinics in Haiti in conjunction with ``Papa Doc'' Duvalier.
The preface to the Evans-Kline report said the group ``concluded that the
present breadth of drug use may be almost trivial when we compare it to
the possible numbers of chemical substances that will be available for
the control of selective aspects of man's life in the year 2000.... ``The
American culture ... [is] moving toward a `sensate society.'... A greater
emphasis is being placed on sensory experience and less upon rational or
work-oriented philosophies. Such a philosophical view, coupled with the
means to separate sexual behavior from reproduction or disease, will undoubtedly
enhance sexual freedom.... ``It seems ... obvious that the youth of today
are no longer afraid of either drugs or sex. Again, the philosophers and
spokesmen for the avant-garde advocate the personal sensory experience
as the {raison d'e@aftre} of the coming generation. Finally, we are moving
into an age in which meaningful work will be possible only for a minority:
In such an age, chemical aphrodisiacs may be accepted as a commonplace
means to occupy one's time. It will be interesting to see if the public
morality of the next 30 years will change as much as it has in the last
30. ``If we accept the position that human mood, motivation, and emotion
are reflections of a neurochemical state of the brain, then drugs can provide
a simple, rapid, expedient means to produce any desired neurochemical state
that we wish. ``The sooner that we cease to confuse scientific and moral
statements about drug use, the sooner we can rationally consider the types
of neurochemical states that we wish to be able to provide for people.''
This is the historical thinking of the British strategists who want to
destroy the U.S. presidency and the American republic. And this is the
criminal apparatus with which they have equipped themselves to do it.
